Yoga Music Reviews- Top 10 CDs I play in Class
In a yoga class setting up a vibe with lights, music and space is such a key part of the experience. It really takes you to a sacred place and I tend to get all bejiggety is my sound system is not working. Whenever I am teaching at a new place or subbing I make sure to spend awhile understanding how their music system works (I'm not technically inclined and tend to panic when the music won't start) I tend to play the same 30 CDs all the time but I love picking up new ones all the time ( a few years from now this list will be very different) Even if you don't practice yoga, these CDs will work well if you want a sacred vibe for meditation or a special ceremony. A few of them will...Read More
Happy New Year 2014
The 2014 New Year rolled in and hopefully you enjoyed all the Family time, grazing on delicious meals, decedent deserts, and fun conversations. As a kid, and to this day I've always looked forward to this festive time of year celebrating Christmas and New Years with friends and family. I remember those chocolate gift baskets with the wide variety of goodies and perfectly aligned presentations. Some of them tasted a lot better than others. As I've matured, I can't say I still love those Whitmans milk chocolates. Maybe its a sign of maturity or just changing tastes. Now I love those Godiva Chocolate Truffles and actually asked from them as a gift, receiving two Godiva Chocolate Truffles from my significant other Have you heard those phrases… The only constant in life is change?

Why is Thai Yoga Massage So Beneficial for Your Health and Well-being?
Thai Yoga Massage is a kind of bodywork that applies light pressure and facilitated stretching to your muscles. From a rehabilitation perspective, this is exactly what your tight and rigid tissue needs. The other component to this practice that must be mentioned is that it allows you to dip into a passive moving meditation, which opens up many channels that promote healing. This is similar to what happens in yoga, but Thai Yoga Massage goes a bit deeper because the yoga is being done to you. In my work, I target three components of health: proper amount of rest, good flexibility throughout the whole body, and cardiovascular strength. Most people need more of all three of these. Thai Yoga Massage targets two of these components very well, and makes cardiovascular strength training not nearly as daunting. Rest, Flexibility,...Read More

Lets Play: Criken 2
Criken2 is a gamer and Youtuber who showcases him and a few of his friends playing games. They typically are in co-op, with all the shenanigans that entail. Notable in that he may play through an entire game, record it all, and only uses the funniest or most insane parts of it. This has led to all of his videos being very humorous.Criken usually works with game clips tied to a particular game, but also does a series called "Criken's Fun House", which have clips not tied to any particular game, and a side series meant to satiate the fans waiting for "Criken's Fun House" called "Criken's Quickies". They, nonetheless, seem to update rather sporadically as of late. Is part of Polaris and sometimes collaborates with Broteam. His face, which was until recently never seen, was revealed in the Pax Podcast of what was then TheGameStation, which can be viewed here.
Tropes that appear in these videos:
- Aborted Arc: Whenever he reaches the third video in a series (Dark Souls 2 Co-Op, Dead Island Riptide: The Adventures of Sam B, etc.) the preview for Part 4 will be shown at the end. And then never released.
- Justified for The Adventures of Captain Andytrout, as his hard drive was corrupted and the footage was lost. He plans on continuing the series someday.
- Axe Crazy: Boon, who sometimes gets really into a game.
- Butt Monkey: Everyone gets a go-around at some point, depending on their experience, but Skippy tends to fulfill this role.
- Buffy Speak: Criken has not been exempt from this, displaying some traits in certain videos.Criken: OH! HES A...A ASSASSINS CREED!
- Catch Phrase: Criken and his friends have many of these.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Criken is signified via white text, Skippy tends to have red text, Oats (or the secondary character in a 2-player game) has yellow text, and game audio is black text. (Unfortunately for OCD viewers, these colors change very often.)
- A Day in the Limelight: Certain videos are only Criken and only a single friend of his, examples of this include his Aliens: Colonial Marines video, his Resident Evil videos, and his Dark Souls videos.
- Epic Fail: Saints Row 3: How to Lose at Everything.
- In the previous video, The Wrath of Gimps, Criken pulls out his parachute too late after doing a jump in the first Penthouse Crib mission, being totally unable to get on the building after a point, thus failing the mission. His partner calls him on it.
- Evil Brit: Waddy, with his noticeable accent and propensity to mess around with the others before killing them.
- Fun with Subtitles: His Signature Style, and possibly one of the pioneers of using subtitles to humorous effect in gameplay videos.
- Large Ham: Da Xing, a new addition has a ridiculously deep voice is usually screaming either profanities or screaming utter gibberish. Boon, too, who more often than not, is a Screaming Warrior.
- Nice Guy: Shayne Hawkins, soft voiced player who's often bewildered by the games he's in and regularly pleads "don't kill me!" while running and hiding in multiplayer death matches.
- Only Sane Man: Criken in most videos, if not then its Skippy, who is still rather insane.
- Special Guest: Crackbone of the defunct Janus Syndicate at one point was in Criken's games. Criken stated that this was actually unintentional.
- Sound-Only Death: Expect to hear Criken and his friends to make wacky and outrageous noises when they die. It's even more hilarious when Criken actually has to subtitle the noises they make, and at one point he acknowledged that hes become somewhat of an expert at transcribing death sounds.
- Religious Bruiser: We learn in the "90's Kids" LP of X-Com that Da Xing is very religious, and doesn't appreciate people dissing God.
- The Reveal: For a long period Criken's face had been unknown to his viewers, until he made a live appearance at PAX East 2013.
- The Faceless: Until this video.
- Too Dumb to Live: Occurs many times in Criken's videos.
- Troll: Criken and his friends like to mess with each other a lot. Usually Skippy.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: If any game allows such, you can count on Criken to do it. Consequences be damned.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Criken is, in his own words, gravely afraid of water creatures. Naturally he must face several such creatures while playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
- Younger Than They Look: Was apparently only 15 when he started making videos. According to an SSB4 video on Vinesauce, Criken was well aware of how people would react hearing someone so young play these games, so he stuck to using subtitles until he got older, which eventually would become his Signature Style.

I went in for the weekly visit and I was dilated only 4cm just like the previous week and the Dr asked if I was ready to have the baby today. I told her, Yes please because I can't move anymore.
She sent me straight to the hospital where she broke the bag of waters and regular labor contractions started almost right away. Almost four hrs later I was about 6cm dilated and it hadn't change for the past 2hrs so I had enough, I gave up and asked for an epidural. The RN told me that it should help a lot because it relaxes the muscles so that labor progresses. Indeed it did, about an hr later I was dilated 10cm so they told me to start pushing.
I pushed for less than 30 mins before we met our handsome little boy.
Breastfeeding is going great, I am also pumping because he gets full and I have to pump the extra breastmilk. I started storing it in the freezer. We are doing great, our 16 months old gets jealous when I am holding the baby. Thank you Ladies for your support. I can't believe I have three wonderful chidren now.View Thread
I am 40w1d today, no baby yet. Dr said we'll wait till 41w and then she will break the bag of waters to start labor, that should be enough she said.
I am getting so inpatient ,I can't wait to meet this little guy. Those progesterone injections really do their job well
Wishing you the best Ladies. I'll post the birth story asap. (((HUGS)))View Thread
Sorry I haven't been around much, I have been feeling so tired since I started third trimester. Our 14mo old is keeping me so busy,she turns everything upside down especially the drawers of the dresser. I keep putting the clothes in and she keeps taking them out, it's a maybe 4 times a day kind of thing. I have gained 20 lbs so far, I'm 32w5d but I feel like I am in my last month of the pregnancy. Passed the glucose test, so far so good. I still get the progesterone injections, 3 more and I'll be done. I am so thankful for those injections. Have a great summer Ladies! (((HUGS)))View Thread
Our eldest daughter turns 9 in a couple of weeks and Miss Alli is 13 months. It's been harder to carry her around lately,she is getting so big. She loves to walk around even when she falls she giggles and up she goes again.
I am 26w4d and gained 13 lbs so far but I feel like I am 50 lbs heavier. Other than that no problems so far. I am getting my injections done every week.

Update: 20w today, have only gained 6 lbs so far. Our u/s apt was on Thursday and everything looked great. We are having a little boy this time. DH saw it and couldn't wait till the technician said it, he just jumped out of the chair and said "it's a boy,I see it". It was so funny. Thank you for asking Ladies and Happy Birthday to your kids.View Thread
Our little ones are not so little anymore,I can't believe your little girl turns one in a week and mine turns one next month. Where does time go?
Happy Birthday to both of your babies in advance!View Thread
Ani and baby : 14w6d w/g : 2 lbs
Been feeling ok,still having morning sickness just not as bad. I will start my progesterone shots in less than two weeks, fun. Next month I have the 20w u/s and I can't wait to see this little one,hopefully everything will turn out ok. Our 10 month old has been keeping me busy, she is home with me all day which means that I can't get anything done. I try to put clothes in the dry and I hear her saying "mama",she keeps calling me until I pick her up. Have a great weekend!View Thread
I had a natural birth with our second too and I was on my feet right after, when the nurses took the baby to give her a bath I was taking my shower. I am doing the same thing this time around. Enjoy your little one!View Thread

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands The blood pressure lowering drug aliskiren did not improve coronary artery disease when given to patients who had prehypertension, results of the Aliskiren Quantitative Atherosclerosis Regression Intravascular Ultrasound Study (AQUARIUS) reveal.
The findings, reported at the European Society of Cardiology Congress with simultaneous publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association, offer new insight into the value of lowering blood pressure beyond prehypertensive goals, suggested lead investigator Stephen Nicholls MBBS, PhD, Deputy Director at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, Professor of Cardiology at the University of Adelaide and Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, Australia.
"In the AQUARIUS study, although greater blood pressure lowering was observed in the aliskiren treatment group, we did not observe significant slowing of disease progression," he noted.
"While these findings do not support the use of aliskiren for regression or prevention of progression of coronary atherosclerosis, prespecified exploratory findings in the trial suggests there may be some other potential benefits in patients with pre-existing coronary artery disease and blood pressure levels treated to goalalthough the current clinical findings are inconclusive," he added.
AQUARIUS was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, double-blind clinical trial conducted at 103 centers in Europe, Australia and North and South America.
It included patients aged 35 years or older with angiographic evidence of coronary artery disease, prehypertensive blood pressure at baseline (systolic blood pressure between 125 and 139 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg) and two additional cardiovascular risk factors. Eligibility required a target blood vessel for imaging with at least 20% and less than 50% stenosis.

What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
On Friday, the Cubs' new owner will be confronted by more microphones, cameras, and sweaty members of the press than I imagine he has ever been confronted by before. I predict he will say something to the effect of, "I can't give you a definite answer at this point, but that is absolutely something we are going to be looking at," more times than we'll be easily able to count. Nevertheless, after the ridiculously protracted sale process and with so many critical issues facing the team—from the immediate future of the leadership team to the long-term viability of Wrigley Field—I will join many of you in hanging on every word Ricketts has to say. (I've also never heard his voice, so I'm curious.)
Apart from all of the obvious questions Ricketts will face, probably multiple times, here are some questions I would ask if I had press credentials or the ingenuity to sneak in.
– In your wildest dreams, did you ever imagine when you began this process that it would take this long to resolve?
– How hard was it to persuade your family to pursue this purchase?
– Did you always consider yourselves favorites to win the team?
– On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being virtually no involvement with day-to-day decisions and 10 being complete immersion in every detail of the team's operation, how would you characterize your ideal level of involvement with the club?
– During the long period when you were clearly the eventual owner but not yet officially so, did you have any contact or decision-making authority with regard to the operation of the team? If not, were Crane Kenney or Jim Hendry at least able to "keep you in the loop"?
– Though the Ricketts family is prominent in Omaha, by the end of this press conference and the subsequent replays of it, you will not be able to go many places in Chicago without being identified. Did you or your family consider that level of visibility when deciding whether to pursue the team? How do you feel about the possibility of hostile encounters with fans if the team is not doing well?
– How often in recent years have you seen the Cubs play at Wrigley? Where did you sit?
– Dating back to when you first became a Cubs fan, who was/is your favorite player?
That's my list. What would you ask a 44-year-old billionaire-turned-baseball team-owner?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
1) How much longer do we have to endure Jim Hendry as GM?
2) Do you read Bill James, Baseball Prospectus or any other statistically-slanted baseball publications?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
CUBNUT: Send these over to Bruce Miles - he will be in the room!
"Your business acumen is renown, as is making a profit. What areas are you targeting to produce more revevue, and do you envision PSL's in the future as a necessary stream"?
"When will renovations start, or at least bathroom renovations?"
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Here's a few baited questions I would ask:
1. Do you plan to keep Jim Hendry on as sort of a "lame duck" GM and if so how much autonomy will he have in making baseball decisions?
2. What is your vision for rebuilding this team?
3. Developing good talent in-house can be a nice cost-savings way of fielding a winning baseball team, what organizational, business office-level vision do you have for developing a talented farm system?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
My list:
1. Are you looking for a 30 year old faux Dr to help you in any official baseball capacity?
2. Do you need said faux Dr. to work as a bodyguard, money holder-onto, or general entourage lackey?
3. If you answered yes to 1 or 2, where do you turn in resumes?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Do you plan to keep the Tribune-era organizational chart wherein baseball operations essentially report to the marketing department? We love Ron Santo, we hate the guest conductors, and even though they both need to go, fans don't feel like they ever will.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
My question would be:
"Wouldn't Aaron Miles make a nice lawn ornament for your mansion in Omaha? I have a lantern you can borrow."
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
"Wouldn't Aaron Miles make a nice lawn ornament for your mansion in Omaha? I have a lantern you can borrow."
This is a LOW BLOW!
But, wonderful. Very nice.

Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Have you considered Arizona Phil for GM?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
For those of you that didn't catch it locally - here is the stream from Hendry's interview with Bruce LEvine and J. Hood from Talkin' Baseball last Saturday.
Proud of the fact we got in the Playoffs two of the last three years. Only disappointment was "we didn't get in".
"Our job is not to make excuses..."
Discloses no Bradley stuff. "He's still a Cub..."
Takes the responsibility, but wants the blame shared around. Was not too specific.
He is not giving any salary back.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
The E-Man wrote:
[Hendry] discloses no Bradley stuff. "He's still a Cub..."
Of course, that frustrating to hear, but it's a better approach to negotiation than trashing what you're trying to sell, as the Cubs were doing in September.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
an owner question?
umm...how much payroll you gonna give the GM and do you plan on staying the hell out of the way like a good owner should? =p
...btw, zell looks to be one of our greatest owners even if he "maybe" was spending a little more to cash in a new trophy for his mantle.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Is there any chance that Milton Bradley will suit up as a Cub in 2010?
How much of Milton Bradley's contract are you willing to eat in order to get rid of him?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
When you go to sleep at night, do you trust Jim Hendry and the baseball people in this organization with your 845+ million investment?
The answer is very important. If yes, fine (that won't last, but fine). If no, proceed to fire Jim and hire somebody you do trust.
Look, if I paid 845 million for a baseball team, you damn well better believe for at least a year or so, it would be my version of MVP Baseball 2003 for playstation. However, a rich owner meddling in the baseball stuff is called the Balitmore Orioles, and look how well they're doing.
Having said all that, maybe a rich fan with the strings in his hands is what we need. I don't know about you guys, but not many people would have paid MB over Ibanez and Abreu last offseason. And Tom Ricketts isn't paying me squat to come up with that logic.......
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
on a legit question, I would probably like to know which franchises and organizations he sees as good models for the Cubs. I imagine the Red Sox would be one...I'd like to hear the Angels as another.
also, do you have a strong marriage?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Whoa! The Mighty Cubnut is back in action. Awesome!
We missed you and in case you weren't able to pay attention the 2nd half of the season really sucked rotten eggs.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
(I'll ask this for Mike Wellman's(non)benefit)...
What are the chances of the Cubs AAA team moving to Omaha?
Re: What are the chances of the Cubs AAA team moving to Omaha?
I think they already moved them to Chicago.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Mr. Ricketts:
1. Do you feel, long-term, Wrigley Field (even with modifications) can produce the revenue streams necessary to effectively compete over the next 20-25 years?
2. Are there circumstances where you would consider participation in the construction of a new stadium not unlike Miller Park either in Chicago or a suburban location?
3. What involvement (1 to 10 with 10 being the highest) will you have in the hiring or retention of the President, General Manager, and Field Manager positions?
4. What are your 3 highest short-term and 3 highest long-term (3-5 years) priorities?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
How do you feel about owning a team where one of your worst players makes the most money--and will for the next five years?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Can you lend me 100 bucks?
What can you do about that smell in the bathroom?
Can you bring back the ball girl? The Marla Collins model?
Ricketts will be on Boers and Bernstein on Friday from 3:30 to 4:00.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
I would pay money to hear all three of these questions being asked at the press conference (specifically, asked all together at once -- as in a three part question).

This from a Kiley McDaniel chat a couple weeks ago...
"Comment From Wrenzie
Who has more ceiling between Yusniel Diaz or Eddy Julio Martinez?
Kiley McDaniel: Martinez. I have Eddy (20 years old) as a 65 runner with a 55 arm and 50 raw power that profiles as an everyday CF that could be above average depending on if the bat is a 45 or a 55. I have Yusniel (19) as a 60 runner with a 55 arm and 40 raw power that can be an everyday guy if he hits enough (50 or 55)."
"Per Jesse Sanchez at mlb.com, Cubs reportedly have signed 20-year old Cuban OF Eddy Julio Martinez for $3M bonus.
Arizona Phil 7 hours 23 min ago"
it's day old news, and it's got nothing to do with the cubs, but ichiro signed a $2m deal with MIA (with a $2m option for 2017).
neat. 41 years old and damn close to 3000 hits.
also, rain delays suck.
take that giants
I think that if a team objects to the 1-game wildcard playin game so much, they could just win the pennant and avoid themselves the trouble.
Per Jesse Sanchez at mlb.com, Cubs reportedly have signed 20-year old Cuban OF Eddy Julio Martinez for $3M bonus.
BLOCK: Of course any advantage is an advantage. An MLB, NBA, or NHL team getting the extra game at home in a seven game series is an advantage, I just don't think it is enough of an advantage for winning a division and/or having the best record in a conference or league over the course of an 82-game season (NBA and NHL) or 162 game series (MLB).
TEX takes the opening game from TOR (@TOR) 5-3.
TOR lost bautista + donaldson in-game due to injuries...TEX lost beltre...dunno if any will be lingering issues leading to missed games.
Ride the Kid Magic! Schwarber hadn't homered in a long time before last night.
Greg Maddux was 8-18 in his rookie season. Kyle has the 8 wins down pat.

Kyle is on the far left.
I support this. Hendricks has not only looked better lately but seems to start struggling after a few innings which is better than the 1st in the playoffs.
Just tweeted via Jesse Rogers: Hendricks starting Game 2. Wow. Just wow.
That was good!
Well said. On one hand, I thought the HBP was a bad baseball play -- down 4 runs, put a runner on for a red-hot Fowler. On the other hand, they needed to do something -- I hadn't thought about the warning/pitching inside point. Is Hurdle that smart? He does not strike me that way. By the way -- not clear which fan base you are referring to in your "first" 3rd point.
My unsolicited opinions on topics covered in this thread:
1. I hate the fact that after 162 games, a team could be out after 1 game. However, I think the system is pretty close to perfect right now. 2 of 3 isn't feasible unless they shorten the regular season, and it ices the division winners for way too long. This creates excitement, and rewards the division winners.

The web-only home goods retailer reports $915 million in revenue for 2013, up 55% from 2012. Key initiatives for 2014 include developing proprietary product lines.
With talk circulating of a possible IPO in its future, Wayfair LLC this week reported record sales results for 2013. The web-only retailer of home décor and furnishings says total online order intake was more than $1 billion in 2013, and that net revenue was $915 million for the year, a 55% increase compared with around $590 million in revenue in 2012.
Order intake is the gross amount of orders placed by customers before cancellations and returns, which is why there is a difference in the two, the retailer says.
The company's online portfolio of home brands—including modern furniture retailers DwellStudio and AllModern.com, and upscale flash sale brand Joss & Main—experienced steady growth throughout 2013 capped off by a strong holiday season, Wayfair says.
Customers responded favorably throughout the year to new shopping tools it rolled out and deeper content it hosted through partnerships with print magazines like Coastal Living, This Old House and Sunset, Wayfair says. Such new tools include its Inspiration Gallery, which depicts rooms designed by professional decorators and 2,500 interior home photos that customers can click on and shop.
"We were expecting impressive sales growth in 2013 and are pleased to see our model is working to drive increased brand awareness, customer acquisition and retention," says CEO Niraj Shah. "We are focused on delivering an exceptional shopping experience specifically geared to home goods and will continue to address the unique requirements of this market category with innovation across all aspects of our business."
Shah told Internet Retailer in late January that privately held Wayfair might consider going public. Key initiatives for 2014 include expanding its lifestyle brand offerings and developing proprietary products.
The merchant, No. 52 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, now sells more than seven million products from 12,000 brands.

Video: The Fight Over the Pentagon's Newest JetTweet
July 25, 2013
In this NBC Nightly News clip, the Project On Government Oversight's Winslow Wheeler discusses the failings of the F-35, a fighter program that has taken seven years longer and cost nearly twice as much money as originally planned. Wheeler, who is the Director of the Straus Military Reform Project at POGO, has railed against the F-35's cost, schedule, and performance in the past, including calling it "The Jet that Ate the Pentagon."
This jet is an extreme example of unnecessary taxpayer spending. Unfortunately, politicians have refused to cut—or even cut back—the program because 133,000 employees in 45 states are involved in the supply of parts. The most expensive weapons system in history is considered too big to fail, and taxpayers have to bear the burden.

Willem Van Duin, who presented at today's forum, is a Member of the Executive Board of Eureko BV, the parent organization of The Netherlands' largest health insurer, Achmea Health. He described the new system in his country, adopted in 2006, in which all residents are required to purchase health insurance offered by private insurance companies. Individuals are permitted to switch health plans every year. Groups, including employer groups, are eligible for discounts of up to 10 percent. Care is provided by private doctors and hospitals.
Daniel Schmutz, who also presented at the forum, is CFO & a Member of the Executive Board of Helsana, the largest health insurance company in Switzerland. The Swiss system, which does not include a role for employers, provides coverage to all residents through private health insurance, with care provided at public and private hospitals and by mostly private doctors. There is a standard benefit package, but individuals choose from different coverage plans where premiums, deductibles, and provider networks vary. Individuals contribute a significant amount to the monthly premiums, and the government subsidizes premiums for low income individuals. General taxation and pension funds cover the remaining costs.
Both Van Duin and Schmutz emphasized that innovation and choice have been the hallmarks of systems that rely on the private sector to achieve universal coverage. They also emphasized that there is a high level of consumer satisfaction with these systems.
Many U.S. policymakers and some in the media believe all European
countries that have achieved universal coverage have "Canadian-like"
systems, when, in fact, some have used the exact opposite approach, and
some have used mixed models, according to Kaiser Chairman George Halvorson.
Mr. Halvorson is also chairman of AHIP

As research fellow in labor economics at The Heritage Foundation, James Sherk researches ways to promote competition and mobility in the workforce rather than erect barriers that prevent workers from getting ahead.
Sherk's recent writings address ways to help recipients of unemployment insurance return to work more quickly; why participation in the labor force dropped during the recession; and the economic consequences of raising the minimum wage.
His research showed that federal employees make significantly more than comparable workers in the private sector. The findings attracted widespread national attention and contributed to the decision of President Obama and congressional leaders to suspend scheduled across-the-board pay increases for federal workers.
Sherk's labor reform work formed the basis for the advance of legislation in Congress to allow union members to earn pay increases above their union rate. Under current law, unionized employers may not pay individuals more without the union's permission.
Sherk, who joined Heritage in 2006, frequently testifies before committees of Congress on labor policy issues. His commentary and analysis have appeared in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Times, Business Week and Roll Call. CNN, Fox News Channel, CNBC and PBS are among TV news outlets to feature his analysis of pressing labor issues.
Sherk completed graduate studies at the University of Rochester, where he received a master of arts in economics with a concentration in econometrics and labor economics. He also holds a bachelor's degree in economics and mathematics from Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Mich.

"Blackfish" has brought national attention to marine captivity and animal abuse at amusement parks across our country. On Sunday, February 16, Sea World will be holding a mass protest, educating the public of Southern California of these atrocities. Our protest will be held to educate the public of Northern California of the marine enslavement and recurring abuse taking place in our own backyard. Please contact Tina with any questions and/or to arrange carpooling. (916)[masked]
Tina Marie, Nice to meet you and thank you for organizing this event! I felt honored to work with these people and on behalf of these MAGNIFICENT animals that need our voice!!!

I don't remember everyones' names, but I wanted to mention that I enjoyed VERY MUCH talking and protesting with the couple and the young lady near the parking lot who I was with all day! Also a mom who brought the BRIGHT PINK AND COLORFUL SIGN and her daughter (talked about the key chain idea)! Nice and compassionate people! We need you for the next protest! Sorry, I wanted to get names before I left but was tired and forgot to ask. We really accomplished a lot! Orcas, dolphins and all are the others in captivity NEED our voice!

(1) Where are we going to meet up?
(2) I would recommend bringing a camera. Video cameras especially may come in handy.
(3) Here are the Six Flags rules for public assembly. They refer to an attached map, but there isn't a map attached.
Also, see the reference below (the local Vallejo newspaper) that the park's guidelines for public assembly may infringe free-speech rights. It's an older article though (2006), so don't know if its information is still applicable. http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_3860108

Does anyone know where to park? I will park in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, if I don't hear from anyone. I don't think it's that expensive, so just bring some cash. God Bless! I am also bringing the anger/sadness I feel at the treatment of these MAGNIFICENT and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tina Marie, Sorry for all the "back and forth"! I have my ride and I will be there. I will have two posters so someone can borrow one. My dad is almost done with the book by David Kirby and he is so disappointed in Sea World and so sad for the Orcas! He said the book Death At Sea World is amazing! It is, indeed, a good book! See you!!!

Tina Marie, Sorry for going "back and forth" so much. I have my ride! See you at the protest! I have two posters, if someone wants to use one. Have a beautiful day!

Sorry all. Wanted to go but I don't my driving partner and it's further away than Sac. John said he will go with me to most protests in the future including those in Vallejo or San Francisco. I hope you have a passionate protest and illuminate the public. Please tell as many people as possible to read Death At Sea World by David Kirby so they can READ FOR THEMSELVES what cruelty these great, intelligent animals go through. Sorry again and hope to meet Tina Marie and others at a future event. God Bless!

Thank you for organizing this important event. If you ever wonder if protesting for the animals makes a difference, consider how many more vegans there are now and, something I did not think I'd see in my life time, big experimental labs making plans to no longer use chimpanzees- they state there are other non animal alternatives. You all make a difference!

This service evaluates checks for conversion eligibility and then, if applicable, converts the checks to an ACH debit transaction.

This is official 30 day notification to our customers, taxpayers, and other payees that your checks received for payment may be converted to an ACH debit transaction.

MASSENA - A Massena-area man charged with having inappropriate contact with a female teenager has been fined after pleading guilty to an endangering the welfare of a child count.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson fined Jonathan Zakarauskas, 25, of 1401 state Route 420, Norfolk, $750 and a $205 surcharge for the misdemeanor conviction. He was also placed under a one-year conditional discharge with a stipulation he abide by an order of protection directing him to have no contact with the alleged victim in the case.
The endangering the welfare charge alleged he picked up two teenagers, ages 13 and 15, at 11:45 p.m. July 25, 2011 and took them to a camper at his parents business without the girls parents knowledge or consent.
Village police had charged Zakarauskas in August 2011 with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
He was accused of having intimate sexual contact with one of the girls when she was 13 years old in July 2009 and when she was 14 years old in June 2010. Court documents said the girl reportedly told Zakarauskas to stop during the incident in June 2010 but he failed to do so.
The felony sexual abuse charges were later reduced to misdemeanors and returned to Massena Village Court.
Zakarauskas was reportedly in the girls home on both occasions because he was friends with one of her relatives, according to court documents.
In other recent village court action before Judge Gustafson:
■ Jason Kennedy, 38, of 42 Main St., Massena, had his sentencing for a driving while intoxicated conviction adjourned after appearing in court with a new attorney, Brian D. Pilatzke.
Mr. Pilatzke asked for the adjournment so he would review the case to explore the possibility of withdrawing the plea or reaching a sentencing commitment with prosecutors and the court. Kennedy had pleaded guilty to the reduced count of DWI in April.
Kennedy was returned to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility, where he is currently serving a 120-day sentence handed down in St. Lawrence County Family Court.
■ Robert W. Northrup, 63, of 82 Cook St., Massena, demanded his petit larceny charge be placed on the trial calendar after the village justice refused to commit to no jail time if he entered a guilty plea to a disorderly conduct violation to satisfy the charge.
St. Lawrence County Assistant Public Defender Alison Appleby urged the court to sentence Northrup to a one-year conditional discharge if he pleaded guilty to the disorderly conduct violation.
Seriously? the village justice asked Ms. Appleby. How many times has he been here? If he is convicted of something, he is not going to get the good guy treatment. Ms. Appleby had argued the plea offer reflected legal issues with the paperwork in the case. She suggested the facts in the accusatory instrument differed from the facts in the supporting deposition.
